A very quick post from me today as it's one of those weeks where I seem to be chasing my tail and getting nowhere.
I'm sorry that I'm playing catch up again with my visits!!!
I like to join in with Mrs.A's Butterfly Challenge and although I made this card several weeks ago thought it fitted the requirements.
I have just gone for the colour this time not the edge but will try better next month Mrs. A, I promise.
My friend recently did a class with 20 very elderly ladies who haven't done crafting before so she prepared the class to make it as easy as she could for them to take home a finished card.
The green card was embossed and the ladies cut out their oval centres so Jacky gave me the green waste to make into cards for my charity box and this was one that I made.
I inked the inside of the scalloped ovals, added a diecut sentiment, a diecut butterfly and finished with glittery peel off strips that have been in my stash for years.
I would like to join in at the Butterfly Challenge #74 E for Edges /and or the colour Mint Green.
I have just used the colour mint green this time.

Lovely card and just right for the challenge - I had to smile that you are actually using waste from another person!!!
I really don't throw anything away that can be put on a card - even other peoples stuff!!!!!

Such a pretty card Barb!
Wonderful use of the "waste" Barb,love the mint green colour against the darker shade of the butterfly.
Oh my goodness, Barb - I laughed at your blog title! I had to come take a closer peek because I knew it would be something fun and craft related - thinking more like glue but this is a gorgeous butterfly card!
Oh, top marks for using up other people's SNIPPETS! Priceless.
Lovely butterfly card Barb.
Hugs, Sarn xxx

Hi Barb...Pretty card....love the embossed recycling....and the butterfly....Joolsx
This is pretty and nice of your friend to keep the offcuts for you to use. I love your mint green colour and the butterfly against the EF of butterflies looks great. Thankyou for fluttering in the butterfly garden to play along. hugs Mrs A.
I would be the same, I couldn't see something like that thrown away! It's a beautiful spring card and charming butterfly die.
I love the die cut butterfly so delicate and fragile - I think it works well with the embossed background. Great use of 'waste' card. Anne x
I really like how the center panel is a cut out to the greeting. It's a nifty idea and goes to show you that one lady's trash is another one's treasure!
oh wow Barb this is a really lovely card, love how you've framed the sentiment and embossed the pale green...lovely
Lovely card Barb, the embossing is so pretty and loving the butterfly.xx ♥[aNNie]

This is so pretty Barb, lovely soft colour and I love the way you've used the embossed leftover for a frame xx
Love that dry embossing, gorgeous soft green & those beautiful glittery strips! Wonderful card, Barb!
I very lovely card. You have scored lots of 'Brownie points' for using up someone else's card waste. Lynn x

Barb, this card is just spectacularly beautiful.. I love that butterfly. I've not ever thought of cutting out the center, I'm going to give that try.
I love everything about your card Barb, it's stunning.

This works beautifully Barb and the sentiment on the base layer with the pretty mint embossed layer over the top is a lovely idea, and the butterfly looks perfect over the top. x
